Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 16 Jan, 2024 11:03 AM

A small cabinet shuffle in B-C has promoted Victoria's Grace Lore to the post of minister of children and family development.

Premier David Eby announced the previous children's minister, Mitzi Dean, will now be the minister of state for child care.

Dean's tenure at the Children's Ministry has been difficult with several high-profile incidents of abuse of children in government care.

Both the Green party and the First Nations Leadership Council had called for Dean's resignation when the abuse was made public.
